By Car

The most direct route is to take the M6 motorway as far as Junction 36. Turn off here (westwards) towards Kendal on the A590/591 following the signs to Windermere, 16 miles distant. On reaching Windermere village you will see the large Windermere Hotel to your right and a T-Junction immediately afterwards. Turn left at this junction and follow the one-way system through Windermere village along New Road (which then becomes Lake Road). The Hotel is sited on the left hand side of the road, approx 400 meters past the Police Station. Parking is at the rear of the Hotel accessed by the road marked Elim Grove.

By Train

The direct rail route to the Lake District is on the West Coast Line which runs from London Euston to Edinburgh or Glasgow. Simply take a service which stops at Oxenholme (The Lake District) station and change to the connecting train (usually platform 3) for Windermere Village.

The station at Windermere is about 1 mile from the Hotel in Bowness village (see Map). Travellers can then take a bus or taxi from the station to the Hotel. If in doubt, there is a Visitor Information Centre located next to the station for your convenience.
